Dill is an annual herb that we grow in our garden to make many konkani recipes.. such as shepu cha chattambadi(deep fried snack), Dill moong bhaji, Dill Dosa, Dill Idli, Dill Appe. Many delicious and healthy recipes can be made using Dill leaves. It as a unique sweet aroma and flavor that gives a different taste to any dish.
Dill Leaves are not only packed with Vitamins. But, Dill Leaves are also a good source of fiber, folate (important for cell division and production of DNA), calcium for healthy bones, riboflavin for cell function and development, manganese, and iron. Here I have used our homegrown Dill leaves to make a quick lunch/dinner that can be made just in 20 minutes. Its a one pot pulao using Dill,potato and peas.

Notes
- I have used sona masoori medium-grain rice, We can also use Long-grain basmati rice instead of sona masoori. Sona masoori doesn't need to be soaked. If basmati rice is used.. then soak it for about 30 minutes.
- Freshly ground ginger garlic paste enhances the flavor of the pulav. So try to prepare fresh pastes.[Doesn't take much time]
- Adding lemon juice not only gives that tangy flavor to the spicy pulav but, also separates the rice by keeping it firm after cooking.
